Almost sounds like your friend didn't sent you a game but something else. Check the item in your inventory though to make sure.

I did but nothing showed up.

Also, i went to email to accept it from there only for it to send me to account details

I would've went to bed but now i'm left staying up at 4:24 in the morning...

Go to your inventory, click the "more" button and select "gift history" from the list.

Does it show the game your friend apparently gifted to you?

No, it only shows the games that i gifted and not the game that he gifted

Okay. Click on your notifications icon and then click "view all". Filter them by gifts. Does this new gift show up for you?

I did not receive a new gift. I already have the gift in my notifications

i do get notified by these messages though if thats what you are talking about

Not a new gift, I meant the gift your friend sent you.

If it's still showing there, what happens when you click on it? Does it just take you back to your inventory?

yes. it takes me to my item inventory

Then the only thing to do is wait the 30 days for the gift to be refunded to your friend, whereby they can then try and gift it to you again.

Otherwise, you could try restarting Steam.

Not sure what else can be done.

okay. thanks anyways

What has your friend to say about the whole thing?

You surely contacted him before starting a whole thread here - but you havent lost a single word about what he said.

Call me paranoid, but this kinda sounds like a scam/phishing attempt in a way....

- Is your friend >really< a friend, or just a random person you added?
- Was the email really a steam email or maybe a look-alike fake (look at the actual adress, not just the name it got sent from)?
- Did you at some point have to enter your login data somewhere else than the actual steam-client?
- Is the Game maybe blocked in your country?
- Did your friend buy the Game form some weird russian third-party website?

Just some things to consider...
